Château du Vieux Bostz, Medieval castle in Besson, France
The castle features a rectangular facade with square and round towers at each corner, surrounded by a park with century-old trees.
The first mention of the estate dates back to the death of Pierre Mareschal, followed by Nicolas Chaumas acquiring the land in 1578.
The castle reflects the architectural style of the Bourbonnais region, with its distinctive round towers and integrated chapel from the 17th century.
The castle, owned by Prince C.H. de Lobkowicz, has been undergoing restoration since 2001 with support from the state and department.
The entrance features an 18th-century wrought iron gate decorated with military elements such as cannons and flags.
